each company is different, some go by SSAS model or buy outright. Buying outright limits their ability to collect on you once it's sold so naturally they need to charge an arm and leg.

Interesting. The video didn't mention anything about that. It sounded like you can just buy the robots outright. They are very expensive, though.

Are Robot Lawn Mowers Finally Worth It?

eh.. I think i saw the company that was doing this on shark tank.. In general, they will allow you to own it, but they rather charge an arm and leg. They prefer for you to have a subscription service to mow your lawn. 

I think this market just needs more time, for homeowners.
